What do we actually celebrate on this day? Why is January 1 so special on the calendar? I would much rather wish everyone a happy new day every day. And I do, from time to time, but I’d rather make it a habit.
The new cycle of the calendar, so important to the Chinese Emperors in time past. They were responsible for the ‘harmony’, the alignment of the human rhythms to the celestial cycles of sun, moon and planets – typical for agrarian countries. How far have we since deviated from harmony?
Happy New Year, Happy New Day, Happy New Hour, Happy New Minute, Happy New Second.... Happy Life!
